keeping it fresh

So I've decided Porter and I rock at filling our days with lots of activities.  Here are our recent activities...yeah go ahead and try them, you know you want to:

1. Walk to the park: seriously, we do this everyday.  I push him in the stroller, lay out a blanket, eat snacks, play in the bark/sand, climb up and down the stairs, and slide down the slide. (And this keeps me REALLY tan!)

2. Ride the bus...ANYWHERE!  They have a bus system in Logan that is completely free.  Yes, you read it right.  FREE!  We ride the bus almost daily.

3. Go to the library: whether we walk or ride the bus, we go to the library.  Porter crawls all over the "reading only" couches and cushions, we look at the fish, pull out handfuls of little kid books and put them all back.  It's heaven for Porter.

4. Go to McDonald's: This didn't work out as well as I thought.  I imagined Porter and I happily sharing a small ice cream cone and then playing on the "play place."  It was insanely crowded at 2 in the afternoon and Porter is still too small for the BIG KID play place.

5. Walk the mall: We actually drove our own car to the mall.  I watched Porter crawl, walk, climb, run all over the kid play area and then we checked our Motherhood Maternity.  (Oh my goodness, they have the cutest most EXPENSIVE clothes!)

6. Go to the pool: Ok this one does cost some money but it's worth it!  We walk to the pool, lay out our towels, pack yummy snacks, and I'm pretty sure Porter could play in the kiddie pool all day.

7. Watch a baby signing time video: Have you seen these videos?  The songs are so catchy and the animations are adorable.  Porter will watch about 5 minutes and then be done - but 5 minutes of holding still is fantastic!  And it makes great background music.

I was telling James how happy I was with our life right now.  I feel like I have this great routine with Porter.  He's very independent, and a great eater/sleeper.  My life is fun and actually kind of easy.  And is it terrible to admit that I'm just a little sad that a new baby will throw off my groove?
